Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)
Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala, where it is distilled in a copper-lined column still from fresh cane juice before solera aging.
The 500 year-old Spanish Sistema Solera method is used to age Ron Zacapa 23 in white oak casks. This results in a combination of rums aged between 6 and 23 years.
The current Ron Zacapa 23 bottle features a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle.

Dette er en ok rom, som kan drikkes af de fleste. Denne rom er virkelig blevet sat i fokus alle steder, og hvis man ser på smagen af rom til en 300-400 kr. er den også en af de bedste.

I actually remember where I was when I first had this: Punta Mita, Mexico. I was taken. Couldn't wait to get a bottle. And as I was transitioning from cachaças to rum, this was a winner, even a champion.
As I expanded my rum collection, the true champions rose, and this one fell.
Nose - Brown Sugar, Caramel, Vanilla
Palate - Toasted Coconut, Cooked Fruit, Brown Sugar
And the reason for the fall: the aftertaste. Muddled flavors that are just sweet and almost artificial.
It helped me get into rums, but this journeyman has been retired. But hey, it did serve me well in Nayarit.

Absolutely delicious entry into sipping rums, doesnt come anywhere close to zacapa XO but at less than half the price very good.

A robust flavour that is best served with ice and a squeeze of fresh lime.

A friend of mine swears by this, but to each his own. I think it is a bit on the sweet-side and lacking a bit of complexity. That said, it isn't *bad*, it's just not great.

Looking past the dodgy age statements and judging just on the taste I found this a little too sweet for me. On the nose you get hints of chocolate, sugar, toffee and caramel (lots of sweets!) The first taste is very smooth with more chocolate and cinnamon coming through.
I can see why many people love this rum since it is very easy to drink and goes down smooth but I just find it a little too sweet for my taste for an everyday sipper but would use for a dessert sipper on occasion.

A mucha gente le encanta Este Ron e incluso a mi criterio lo tienen Sobrevaluado, efectivamente es un Ron con Carcter pero pero para su clasificación y premios es Bastante dulce y Vainilloso, no por ello pasa desapercibido para los paladares más exigentes.

This rum is a great sipping rum and enjoyed best neat. This is a cigar rum where there is little bite. This though in my tasting is one dimensional. It has one flavor going on for the most part. I will soon sample the 25 year and I hope it breaks into uni-dimensional at that point. No hang over choice high quality.
